Ep 29: From Hobby to Successful Business, with Riyaza Rodriguez

Riyaza Rodriguez is the Founder and creative vision behind Rock Paper Roses, a female led family owned online jewellery store. We cover so much in our conversation, including taking a career break after a health diagnosis, how Rock Paper Roses started small with just 4 products in the initial launch and Riyaza’s customer base starting from tapping into her local community of friends and family before taking off from there. We talk about how simple styling with jewellery can really boost your confidence as well as transform your outfit, and the importance of finding boundaries with social media in our businesses – down to recognising if an account triggers us and how do deal with it as well as how to monitor and limit our overall phone use. So many ideas shared! Riyaza has also made available a very kind offer of a discount code for ALL of my podcast listeners; simply head on over to https://rockpaperroses.com and enter the code Jo15 at the checkout in order to get 15% off your purchase.   Enjoy the show!!     Connect with Jo: Email me to book a 1:1 Discovery call: [email protected] If you are interested in support to grow your business and confidence, learn more here: https://howdoesshedoit.life/group-and-one-to-one/ Join us at one of my upcoming virtual networking events: https://howdoesshedoit.life/networking/   Connect with me on my website How DOES She Do it?!: https://howdoesshedoit.life/   Follow me on Instagram to continue the conversation and get updates about the podcast: https://www.instagram.com/howdoesshedoitlife/     Connect with Riyaza: https://rockpaperroses.com
